I get so many magazines in the mail, that I never have time to read through them all. I feel like SOME of the magazines have more ads than content. I recently received an edition of Live Happy Magazine for review, and love it! Less ads, tons of content, and a great magazine for moms! We loved their most recent edition, and we think you will too! Our favorite article was an article on Holly Robinson Peete and being more positive!

Q Box had some special edition boxes, and since I had never received a special edition box, I thought I would go for it. The promised a $200 value. The cost was $59.99 plus tax, so I was expecting a box that blew me away. In the end, it was a little underwhelming and a little disappointing. The value was there, but the items were just not my style and I don't know that I will really use anything. It also was supposed to be "Summer Fun", but I am not seeing ANYTHING summery about the box? It really seems like random items they had thrown into a box.

What was in the box?

Rena Chris hair band. STOP. If you have this box, do NOT place this in your head! Trust me! DO NOT!!!!! The hair band will attach to individual hairs and you will be in tons of pain. Trust me. I tried. It also has no way to really stay on your head. You can tie the ribbon, but it just slips right off of my head (hair being pulled out with it). Web value $15.

Blank Earphones. I have never been able to wear canal type earphones. They cause a lot of pain to my hears. I am hoping these will be different. Web value $10.

Ted Baker Makeup Bag. I do travel a lot, so this was a nice addition. I do have a TON of cosmetic bags, but nothing from Ted Baker, so I am adding it to my collection. Web value $40.

3 Concept Eyes Skin Tone Control Primer. This is more a personal gripe with all subscription boxes. PLEASE do not send out a primer or foundation unless you know the skin tone. I have so many of these products that are worthless to me because I have a light skin tone. This is in Mild Peach, and there is not way it will ever match my own skin tone. Web value $26

3 Concept Eyes Liquid Eyeliner. I accidentally broke the seal, so I guess it is mine now. I do not wear liquid eye liner at all, so this is another item that will go in my do not use pile. Web value $13.

Jill Stuart Bag. This is not really a handbag. It is fairly small with no closure. I am not entirely sure what I would use it for. Value based on attached tags $50.

Elegant Rose Hand Towel. This seems like an ordinary hand towel to me. Someone message me if it is not! Value based on attached tag $15.

Total value $169. This does fall short of their promised $200 value, but still was a good buy for $60 if the person receiving it could use everything in it. Based on what I can and cannot use, I would give the value for me about $70. This box just did not make me incredibly happy, and ended up being a bit of a snooze fest for me.

What REALLY made this disappointing is that OVER 7 products were promised (we can all count, right?-- to 7) AND the brands listed were Snidel, Jill Sutart, 3CE and Rena Chris. As we can clearly see I did not receive anything from Snidel.

As you always know Mamas, we believe that companies should stand behind their promises. We DID contact Q Box and were told the Snidel product did not make it through customs. WHY did they not change, edit, or update their site? I don't know. They should have. They should have given the promised items listed in the description. You can see their description here: http://www.getqbox.com/-qshop/summer-fun-box (the screen shot above is from the page THIS morning).

Would it be wrong to just pretend that my husband's NerdBlock did not arrive? I am so in love this this month's Nerd Block! I want to keep EVERYTHING!!!! I have two photos because it was hard to get everything in one. The first are the items, the second the t-shirt. Every Nerd Block comes with a t-shirt, so you always know you will get at least one nerdtastic shirt!

July Nerd Block

What was in our box? (As always we give the Amazon or best web price we can find. We feel this gives the closest fair "value" to the box that we can find).

Total value: $51.71Nerd Block is just $19.99 a month plus shipping. My total is $29.49 each month. As you can see it is a super fun box. They also have a Horror Block and a Nerd Block Jr for both boys and girls!

Here we go! My first stab at nail art. I love painting my nails, but as you probably noticed, I am not all that creative. This week, I took my first step into nail art. Nothing fancy, but I thought I would try. NYC sent me this great nail art bottle of polish, and I love that it is one polish. I have nail art brushes, but I never really understood how to use them (they should come with a manual!!!). This made it MUCH easier to just try out.

First, I started with the Ruffian Endless Love polish from the Birchbox Modern Mermaid Box (which I still think is available-- CRAZY!!! Because it has been one of my favorite limited edition boxes from them, and it is only $44!). I love this color for summer!

Then, I added NYC Showtime Nail Art (currently available in the UK). My design was nothing fancy, and I am really unsure how to get a nice steady line! I am working on it though!

I received the Showtime Nail art as a review item to try out and share with my readers. I did not receive any other type of compensation. This post may contain affiliate and/ or referral links.

My Birchbox arrived today! It is always an exciting time, and I loved my preview this month! You can always find your preview before your box arrives on the Birchbox website! What was in our box this month?

Total value: $30.48 This month was an AMAZING value! The products I received were very large for the most part, with 1 full sized product. I even got to choose the color of polish!! Birchbox is only $10 a month. The best part is you can review products this month for points, so this month I can review 6 product for 60 points. 100 points is $10, so that is worth $6 in the store!

Today's Mani comes from a discontinued color of Zoya polish, Snugli Green. I really like the bright green. It is great for summer and is just something fun! It is a matte polish, but I glossed it up with a glossy top coat.

We are going to start a new post on Fridays that will introduce you to one of our new favorite products. These are NOT products that were sent to us for review, but items we purchased and fell in love with. We are using Amazon products, so you should be able to see from our Amazon review that we did purchase the item directly from Amazon. We will be using affiliate links in the posts, but that will not impact your shopping experience with Amazon.

This week is . . . well . . . our "miracle" product. Have you ever had a problem that drove you completely insane?? That is what cat litter on the floor is like to me! I CANNOT STAND IT!!! It drives me over the edge when I step on to the floor and get cat litter on my feet! So, I am sure you can imagine my skepticism when someone told me there was a product that trapped cat litter and prevented it from getting on the floor!!!

The PetFusion SmartGrip Cat Litter Mat is an amazing product that really does solve the problem is cat littler on the floor. I don't know how it works. I don't even want to know why. All I can tell you is that it 100% DOES!! I actually ordered one because I did not think it would work, tried it for 2 weeks, and then ordered 2 more.
